Description

Farmhouse with attached stores, likely dating from the late 17th century, with later additions and extensions. It appears the south part incorporates remnants of a medieval college demolished in 1756; a blocked doorway with a two-centred head in the south wall is visible evidence, as noted by the Royal Commission on Historical Monuments. The walls are of roughly-cut limestone rubble with roughly-cut limestone quoins, and the roof is of graduated greenslate with a stone ridge. There are two storeys plus attics. The east gable has four windows, arranged irregularly, mostly 19th-century cross windows with leaded glazing. An off-centre boarded door provides access. A small-paned window is located on the far right of the ground floor, and a trompe-l'oeil window is at the top left in the attic. A massive chimney with round shafts, offset from the ridge to the south, is a prominent feature, along with a smaller chimney in the apex of the east gable. The interior features two staircases, one with turned balusters and square newels, panelling in the rear ground-floor drawing room, panelled partitions – including one bearing the initials and date R & IA 1661 – and cornices in the upper-floor rooms. There is also a powder room behind the landing. Some panelling previously described in a Royal Commission publication has since been removed.
